THE FOUR ERAS THE FRESHMAN So vivid is his verdue, so awkward are his feet, As he saunters through these halls of fame or ambles down the street. That his teachers sigh in anguish and every lawn in town, Just withers up in envy and turns from green to brown. THE SOPHOMORE. The all important Sophomore is sometimes quite a bore, She knows it all already and then she knows some more. To attempt to argue with her would surely be in vain, For the wisdom of the ages is confined within her brain. THE JUNIOR Now, here we have the student right, who realizes that Everything worth knowing is not underneath his hat. By earnest application with no thought for fun or play, He hopes to be rewarded on examination day. THE SENIOR. See the wishful looking senior, with the slightly wrinkled brow The school’s fair name and honor are in her keeping now. To discharge her duty fully, so faithfully she’s tried, That she’s dignity and soberness and praise personified. RECAPITULATION. Having passed through all the stages, from the grub to butterfly “Let us face the world with courage and resolve “to do or die’. Let us hold the torch up higher than any class has done, May no taint of foul dishonor smirch the shield of pale 24

THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the students of the Senior Class of 1921, being of most brilliant mind and sound body, also having immense wealth and a generous heart, do hereby declare this our last will and testament: ’ eo First. To the Junior Class we bequeath our most dear and less used Senior privi- leges. Juniors, use them all for we have been unable to make any sign of wear on them. Second. To the Sophomores we bequeath the smallest things we have, as they have proved that small things agree with them. Our ability to get out of hard work, we think that when they get to the Senior Class they will be able to have their lessons in the cloak room. Third. To the Freshman Class we bequeath our pep, our intellect, our liking for our books and our “get along spirit” with Miss Redfern, and last our good looks, (excuse us we will have to laugh). They should be able to finish high school in three years with these. Now, that these are well provided for, we turn to bequeath other gifts to other people, that they be not left in cold darkness. ERR Fourth. To Mr. Stalvey we give this advice, “Let not old age and athletics interfere with your work.” Fifth. To the girls of the High School we give this advice, “Do not attend too many ball games that the High School schedules, you know that disease germs spread rapidly in large crowds.” Sixth. To the teachers we extend this advice, “Do not let the pupils of the High School run over you, always stand up for your rights, that should be easy as Bismark said, “Might Makes Right.” Seventh. To Miss Goode and Miss Talbutt, we give those names they took from us. Teachers you took them without our permission, but you may have them, we do not want them back. Eighth. To Miss Mildred and Miss Redfern we give our best wish. “May your homes be blessed with much happiness.” Ninth. Sam Merritt and Giles McCrary bequeaths their likizg for Athletics to Ken- neth Oakley and Winfrey Clayton, also the leg part of their Basket-ball suits, the foot has gone to its reward. Tenth. Minnie Lee Winstead and Bill Hall bequeaths their unexcelled Algebra grades to Elizabeth Featherstone and Nathaniel Warren. Eleventh. Robert Burch bequeaths his “wiggling” to Edward Bowles. Twelfth. Mary Lou Winstead bequeaths her “ability to know it all” to Mattie Hatchett. Thirteenth. Robert Long bequeaths “his get along ways with the girls” to Nathan- iel Warren. Fourteenth. Julia Yancey bequeaths her ability to pull down windows to Elizabeth Featherstone. Fifteenth. Isabel de Vlaming and Giles McCrary bequeaths their gift cf working the “old bluff” to Muzette Winstead and Helen Harris. Sixteenth. Willie Crowder and Minnie Lee Winstead bestows all their forms of for- mality to Louise Wilburn and Margaret Carlton. Seventeenth. To William Walker and Lawrence Allgood we bequeath this right, “To play on any team the High School may put forth for the next six years, we are sure they will still be here. —SAM MERRITT.
